List

Things I really miss right now (most of these will relate to food since this is FOODIE in the UK!!)

• taco bell- of all friggin things, I could really use 3 hard tacos right now from TB
• sushi
• oysters- is it weird my mouth seems to be watering at the thought of 6 raw oysters with shallot vinaigrette :-)
• The last time I ate deli meat, I got violently ill with a stomach bug, and was later reminded that I shouldn’t be eating it in the first place. Doesn't mean I still don't miss it! Blergh..
• Chicago
• Corner Bakery- on top of that deli meat, I really could go for either corner bakery's cobb salad (amazing!), and any of their soups/sandwiches. 
• Portillo's- Enuff said!
• my cats- I've thought about them passing away a few years ago about 2 times now during my pregnancy and had a really good cry about it.
• energy level- this mostly because I want my fitness level back. I used to feel such a high either running, weight lifting, kickboxing, or doing something simple like pushups. Lord knows all I've done these past few months is just shuffle food in my mouth.
• dancing- Yep, in addition to not having worked out, I've pretty much shoved dancing to the side as well. I did put on some Marc Anthony while doing the dishes today and attempted to dance. Now that's what I call multi-tasking!

Things I can't wait for

• Baby dancing in my tummy. I think I'm supposed to feel flutters at first, but that doesn't even come until 16 weeks or later. I'm only at 13, going on 14!
• Shopping for baby EVERYTHING. Is there nothing cuter than clothes the size of your head? Adorbs!
• Decorating baby room- not sure where we're going to move to, but we're definitely not staying in our flat when the baby comes. 
• My belly flab turning into an actual belly. Right now it just looks like I ate two overstuffed burritos!
• Christmas, New Years, my birthday, because it means I'm that much closer to meeting this lil bean. 
• Finding out the gender- We have a private gender scan scheduled for December 19. Can't. Wait.
• 2nd trimester glow- everyone keeps talking about how much better they feel once they hit the 2nd tri mark and all I feel is more tired and I've been having these awful headaches for the past 2 days. Boo!! 

Back to the weekend's eats

She's got a crazed look in her eye as if she'll be getting some of this!

Man, I love my smoothies! I also added in some fun toppings like sprinkles and chocolate covered candies.

On Saturday, we ordered some Thai food and I caught up on episodes of American Horror Story. I love that the show has everything I love about horror movies, yet it is on every week!

Thai takeout @ Thai Aubergine.

duck wraps

T's plate O' food.

lek tom yum- rice noodles, and seafood

I mostly ate this soup since curries make me sick, and I wasn't in the mood for anything else that night.

lamb curry

best chicken pad thai eva! I had some leftover Sunday night after watching Breaking Dawn Part I. I dragged T to go see it with me, and I'm not going to tell you who enjoyed the movie more! O-b-v-i-o-us!

I've been trying to get my green on for breakfast lately. This time I had some roasted broccoli with my scrambled eggs and toast.

lunch was a medley of vegetables sauteed in dark soy, sea salt, evoo, and black pepper.

Yum! My seabass formed a really nice crust in the oven. I used olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, pepper, and cayenne pepper to season it.

Time to lounge on the couch!

Away we go

Saturday morning omelets are the best!

especially when filled with gooey American cheese, scallions, and turkey.

Yum...

After breakfast, I managed to squeeze in a legs workout from home. I love our Active Channels on Sky tv because there are surprisingly a lot of good fitness videos that you can record and do at home. So far, I have a bums, kettlebells, legs, and yoga workout all saved on our TV. My legs workout consisted of a lot of squats, lunges, one legged squats, quadrapeds, etc.. Ouch! My legs are super super sore. I know my workouts are effective when I have trouble sitting down and getting up from seats :-)

I was feeling super tired last night so T indulged me with some delivery from Thai Aubergine, my our favorite Thai place near Kings Cross.

duck spring rolls with hoisin dipping sauce. Perfectly crispy and delicious!

bbq spare ribs

Beef with fresh ginger, garlic, onion & a dash of tamarind juice. I still enjoyed this even though the ginger flavor was a bit strong.

Egg. Fried. Rice.

king prawn curry. The curry is always watery in this dish but the flavor is really somethin sumfin delicious!

the chicken pad thai is always a hit here. It has the right amount of peanut-y flavor. Delish!

After dinner, I lied down on the couch and enjoyed Away we Go. I found the movie and its actors super endearing but beware, the movie becomes somewhat of a tear jerker (or maybe its just my hormones!)

Breakfast then its time to STUDY STUDY STUDY. No bueno.

Can't.stop.eating

sweet chicken chili and coriander sandwich for lunch from Pret

My workout yesterday: Back/Chest, 8-10 reps, 3 sets

Snack attack yesterday afternoon. I seriously couldn't stop eating!! I had some sweet popcorn w. chips

wheat bread w. spaghetti sauce and goat cheese=perfect snack!

Then some unpictured chocolates...

I was super frustrated yesterday because I showed up to my Zumba class only to find out it was cancelled due to the crazy rioting that's been going in the UK. It's so sad that these punks are disrupting the lives of so many innocent people. Grr!!!

T took me out to eat after I got back home fuming. We went to Thai Aubergine for some delicious Thai food.
